Now Ms Chase, a veteran erotic entertainer, has spoken out about the embarrassing finger slip, saying she is “not a fan” of the Republican.

“With his stance against the porn industry and adult entertainment, I’m not a fan of Ted Cruz,” the 36-year-old actress told New York Daily News. “But I’m happy to see that he could be a fan of mine though.”

Liking a post — which only people with access to a Twitter account are able to do — causes it to appear on one’s feed.

“This is not how I envisioned waking up this morning,” Senator Cruz said. “Although I will say that if I had known that this would trend so quickly, perhaps we should have posted something like this back during the Indiana primary.”

Meanwhile, Pornhub vice president said Ms Chase’s clip has become the fastest porn video in history to hit one million views.

He said the company will now make the viral video freely available instead of keeping it behind a paywall.

“Now our fans can check out the same video a presidential nominee, and current senator, watched in its entirety,” he told Motherboard. “Rest assured, there will be no staffing issues on our end and/or inadvertent button pushing.”

But it’s not just the video blowing up.

The Twitter account on which it was shared has attracted more than 7000 new followers, according to @SexuallPosts’s social media manager Kyle. He told Motherboard he stayed up all night reading replies to the video.
